Traditionally, transport service products have been designed for the working-age population as a major user base. However, in the future, increased attention must be paid to the senior market.</p></div></div></div>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 10:28:44 +0000a.perna@eu-japan.eu1934 at https://www.eubusinessinjapan.euhttps://www.eubusinessinjapan.eu/sectors/transport-logistics/railways#commentsReport: Japanese Railway Markethttps://www.eubusinessinjapan.eu/library/publication/report-japanese-railway-market

<p style="text-align: justify;">The Japanese railway market is seen as sophisticated, mature market, with high standards in service and punctuality, which developed in relative isolation from the rest of the world. Entry into the market is a challenging endeavor requiring patience and tenacity. While it is not reasonable to expect that foreign companies will be winning railway concessions or projects to build complete systems in the foreseeable future, there are developments, such as the more active pursuit of large JR companies for new foreign suppliers that can be seen as signs that the market will be more welcoming to foreign companies. Hence, this report titled '<strong>The Railway Market in Japan</strong>' gives an overview of the Japanese railway market, identifies key sectors players and briefly explains some technical features of the railway network. This report also touches upon procurement practices in the sector.</p>

It is also one of the world’s great maritime traders thanks to its reliable and efficient shipping, advanced engineering capacity, and its top-quality maritime research. The top three global shipping companies, K Line, Nippon Yusen Kaisha and MOL, are all from Japan. The sector remains a high-cost economy but the sophistication and high quality of Japanese shipyards have ensured their status as the most competitive in the world.</p></div></div></div>Thu, 24 Oct 2013 20:20:44 +0000a.perna@eu-japan.eu400 at https://www.eubusinessinjapan.euhttps://www.eubusinessinjapan.eu/sectors/maritime/about-maritime#commentsInfrastructureshttps://www.eubusinessinjapan.eu/why-japan/background/infrastructures
